There is Money in Fruit Raising in Minnesota— Why Not Plant Orchards? 
REALIZE THE WONDERFUL RESOURCES AND POSSIBILITIES THAT THE STATE AFFORDS 
APPLE CULTURE is rapitlh' he- 
L coming one of the leading 
industries of the Northwest. 
According to the report of tlie 
U. S. Department of .Agriculture 
for last year, Minnesota sur- 
passed Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, 
South Dakota and Nebraska in 
apple production by obtaining 
78 per cent of a full crop. Dur- 
ing the past season 80 carloads 
of apples wre shipped from one 
county alone and the valuation 
placed on the Minnesota fruit 
crop for last year was ^250,000. 
Realize that these arc figures for 
.Minnesota alone; multiply tlicm 
by the increase in available land 
throughout the great .\orthwcst, 
and ,you ha\ e a colossal enter- 
jirise in its infancy. To meet the 
demand of this great Northwest 
we are producing at our nurseries 
which arc the most northern in 
.America, after years of e.\pcri- 
ment, trees that combine ex- 
treme hardiness with the quality 
and productivity of warmer 
climes. 
We have an excellent supply of 
hardy Minnesota winter-proof 
apple trees grown at our nur- 
series, some of the fruit of which 
has measured 14}^ inches in cir- 
cumference. We cannot urge 
this sort of planting too strongly 
on the Minnesota people. X 
small outlay of money invested in 
an orchard of Apples will in one 
or two years ) iekl 50 to 100 per 
cent on the investment. J5yoo 
has been cleared from one acre of 
apple trees in one year in Minne- 
sota. What arc the possibilities 
of your farm.' 
The following hardy varieties an 
recommended for Minnesota
